I Am

[Verse 1] I am timid And I am oversensitive I am a lioness I am tired and defensive You take me in your arms And I fall into you I have insecurities You show me I am beautiful [Pre-Chorus] Love me or leave me Just take it or leave it It's not that I'm needy Just need you to see me [Chorus] Take me, free me, see through to the core of me Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending Mmmm [Verse 2] I am temperamental And I have imperfections And I am emotional I am unpredictable I am naked I am vulnerable I am a woman I am opening up to you [Pre-Chorus] Love me or leave me Just take it or leave it It's not that I'm needy Just need you to see me [Chorus] Take me, free me, see through to the core of me Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending [Bridge] Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am Please lay down your arms Do you know me? Make me feel safe from harm [Chorus] Oh, just take me, free me, see through to the core of me (See through) Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending [Outro] (Take me, free me) I am temperamental (See through to the core of me) And I have imperfections (Take me, free me) And I am emotional There'll be no more pretending Mmhmm
